[Emc-users] G33 spindle synchronized motion - index, rotary axis, multiple axes

2013-09-20 Thread propcoder
I set up spindle gear sensor on a metal milling machine with steppers. Will one sensor be enough for G33? I thought I can make synthetic index signal in HAL. I can use my own additional component or maybe correct encoder component.. Somebody went this way already? Before I do this I would like
